Bijutsukai Pl.73
1901
Imagine a river of blue silk winding its way through a garden of giant, fluffy chrysanthemums. Created by Furuya Kōrin for the art magazine *Bijutsukai* in 1901, this print is a love letter to the classic Rinpa style, famous for its bold patterns and love of nature. The artist, whose name honors the legendary Ogata Kōrin, brings swirling water motifs and delicate flower petals to life with incredible precision. It feels like a decorative wallpaper that escaped from a Meiji-era dream, blending traditional Japanese aesthetics with the vibrant energy of a new century.
